Bike— Part 1 採点レポート

提案: Your response repeats the examiner’s question instead of answering. In Part 1 you should give a direct, natural answer (1–5 sentences) with a topic sentence and one or two specific supporting details. Also correct grammar: say “when I was a child” not “when you were child.” Try to use linking words if you add details (for example, “and,” “so,” “because”).

例: Yes, I did. I had a small red bicycle that my parents bought me when I was seven, and I learned to ride it in our neighborhood park. Because my house was near a quiet street, I used to ride it almost every day after school.

提案: Again, you repeated the examiner’s question and made a grammar error (“do you thinks”). Instead, answer directly with a clear opinion, then support it with specific reasons or examples. Keep it concise (up to 5 sentences) and use linking words such as “because,” “however,” or “for example.” Use relevant vocabulary like “commuting,” “cycling culture,” or “infrastructure.”

例: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular, especially in cities. For example, many people use bicycles for commuting because traffic is heavy and bike lanes are improving, so cycling is often faster and cheaper than driving.

× Did you have a bike when you were child?

✓ Did you have a bike when you were a child?

The error is missing the article 'a' before 'child'. In English we say 'a child' for a singular countable noun. Add the indefinite article 'a' to make the phrase grammatically correct. Suggestion: use 'a child' when referring to a single, non-specific child.

× Do you thinks bikes are popular in your country?

✓ Do you think bikes are popular in your country?

The verb 'think' should not take the third person singular '-s' because the auxiliary 'do' is used to form the question. In questions with 'do/does', the base form of the main verb is required. Remove the '-s' to use the base form 'think'. Suggestion: after 'do' or 'does' always use the base verb form (do you think / does he think).
